instead rely on auction houses, such as the famed Sotherby’s. “Whenwe buy something, we want the certificate of authenticity,” explained the man. “We therefore sometime have to pay quite a bit for the artifacts.” Most of them came from Great Britain, Ireland, Germany and Russia. Yet some pieces come from as far as modern-day Iraq. Such is the case of a small coin, written in Arabic. “What most people don’t realize is that Vikings weremuch more than pillagers,” said Santini. “They were traders, explorers and so on. This is what we’re trying to show people with this exhibit.” The exhibit therefore doesn’t solely focus on weapons. Instead, they showcase the Viking culture, religious practices as well as customs.
Proudly displayed in the Cornwall Community Museum’s basement are artifacts of a civilisation that terrified much of Europe and Asia for hundreds of years; the Vikings. One of the first exciting piece to welcome visitors is a thousand-year-old Viking sword. “We truly believe that this sword was taken during a battle or right after one,” explained Steven Santini, co-owner of the collection. “We know this because some pieces on it were changed.” Upon closer inspection, one can notice that the sign of the cross is located on the handle of the sword. Yet, as Santini further explains, the Vikings, or Norse as they called themselves, were actually Pagans. The sword is but a small part of the massive collection that will be showcased in the museum for several months, ending onDecember 15. Santini, along with his wife Vera Hermanns, possess several different historical collections, notably, one consisting of relics from the Titanic. “My love of history started with the Titanic,” the man said. “But about 10 years ago, my curiosity was picked by Vikings. That’s when my wife and I decided to start such a collection.” But finding the items that all date from 800 to 1000 AD isn’t such an easy task, especially for a couple ailing from Owen Sound. “The items we have all come from Europe,” Santini explained. “They weren’t found in archaeological digs, but rather with the use of metal detectors.” But the duo isn’t fond of purchasing pieces from sites such as EBay. They

200 potted trees to be planted The Raisin Region Conservation Authority (RRCA), in partnership with Tree Canada, is proud to announce that it is taking steps in creating the area’s first edible forest. The project, funded by Tree Canada’s Edible Trees Program, is 1 of 20 projects approved among 167 applications across Canada. Its objective is to provide the local community access to wild tree and shrub edibles, as well as to learn about the health benefits of wild foods. Approximately 200 potted trees and shrubs will be planted to create the garden. “We want to make wild edibles more accessible to people,» said Normand Genier, RRCA’s forestry specialist. “They are all around us, extremely nutritional, fresh and free!”. The event will be held on September 10, between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Gray’s Creek Conservation Area. A Wild About Edibles workshop will also be held highlighting the benefits of wild foods, learning important identification features of wild edible species, and the correct harvesting methods and timing. – Francis Racine

Hunting on SNC lands As fall approaches, it is a special time for many residents of the area. The crisp cool air brings a change in the seasons as summer gives way to autumn, and hunting season. South Nation Conservation (SNC) owns some 12,000 acres, including forests and wetlands, distributed across its 4,384 square kilometers jurisdiction. SNC allows hunting on some of its properties and is reminding hunters that they require a hunting permit before accessing SNC owned lands. The cost for a hunting permit is $100 and allows hunters to access over 8,500 acres of forested land. Hunters are also required to have a minimum $2 million dollar liability insurance, which can be obtained through a membership with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.The associated hunting permit fees help support various youth education programs such as the Youth Hunter Apprenticeship Program, in partnership with the South Nation Delta Waterfowl Chapter.“Hunters require written permission to hunt on SNC lands. It’s a common misconception that because lands are owned by a public agency such as SNC, they may be used without permission,” said Philip Duncan, SNC Property and Approvals assistant II. SNC lands offer a range of hunting opportunities Après plusieurs mois de rénovations, la cocathédrale La Nativité rouvrira ses portes le 8 septembre prochain. L’édifice avait dû être fermé d’urgence, quelques jours avant Noël, après qu’on eût découvert que l’orgue de 40 000 livres avait causé un affaissement du plancher du jubé. Une messe sera célébrée à la cocathédrale le 8 septembre prochain. — photo Francis Racine La cocathédrale La Nativité rouverte

for species such as white-tailed deer, moose, waterfowl, and upland game. “Providing direction to hunters on where they can hunt allows SNC to monitor the various uses that take place on our land, and ensure user safety,” added Philip Duncan. He emphasized that hunters should exercise caution when accessing SNC property, as some areas may have multiple users at any given time. “We encourage visitors to wear high visibility clothing in order to help identify themselves to other users.” – Francis Racine

There’s a new taste of Asia on Montreal Road. Ruby Restaurant has reopened at 315 Montreal Road, and new owners Michael Xian and Karen Xu are bringing with them the sights, smells and the tastes of China. “The people who are coming in are telling us our food is really delicious,” said Karen, who along with her husband made the move from Toronto to open a business in Cornwall. When the property in Le Village became available the couple jumped at the chance to open a restaurant in this growing commercial district of the city. “My husband was tired of the big city,” said Xu. “He loved the small city and being close to the people.” The 100-seat Ruby Restaurant offers everything from authentic Chinese food to the classic Chinese, fare many in Cornwall and area have come to enjoy, as well as traditional Canadian dishes. “My husband has over 30 years experience working in the kitchen,” said Xu. — photo Le Village BIA Taste of Asia on Montreal Road

make these unannounced visitors feel at ease, converting schools and community centres into shelters and even wel- coming foreign travellers into their homes. All in all, people were stuck in Gander for nearly a week. During that time, schools shut down to allow students and faculty help with the relief efforts. Residents opened their homes and businesses to those who needed aid. Lifelong friendships were formed despite widespread language bar- riers. At a 2002 memorial ceremony, then-Prime Minister Jean Chrétien concluded his speech by telling the people of Gander, “You did yourselves proud, ladies and gentlemen, and you did Canada proud.” The travellers who took an unexpected trip to Canada have offered many thanks to the amazing people who wel- comed them. In 2011, many returned to Gander to com- memorate the 10th anniversary of the event. Operation Yellow Ribbon, an incredible demonstration of Canadian hospitality and solidarity, was a bright chapter in a dark story, and those who experienced it first-hand will remem- ber it forever.
flights were ordered to land immediately at small Canadian airports. Thus began Operation Yellow Ribbon, the name given to Canada’s role in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy and one of the few good stories to come from an otherwise horrific day. In the hours following the attacks and subsequent evacuation of North American airspace, 224 flights carrying 33,000 passengers landed on Canadian soil. Flights from Asia landed in the western provinces, mostly at Vancouver International airport, while those on themuch busier Trans- Atlantic route were sent to Atlantic Canada. At the height of the event, aircraftwere entering Canadian airspace at a rate of two or three per minute. As flights lined up on the tarmac, passengers and crew, many of whom weren’t even aware of the reason behind the emergency landing, needed to be searched and cleared. Once they were finally allowed to exit the plane, these peo- ple all needed food and shelter. This was not toomuch of an issue for larger cities like Halifax, but for the small commu- nity of Gander, Newfoundland, the sudden arrival of thou-

Canada’s Czech community
The origins of Canadians of Czech heritage can be traced back to historic lands such as Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia and Volhynia. The first three are now part of the Czech Republic, and the fourth represents a region of modern- day Ukraine. The Czech people have a long and fascinating history that saw the rise and fall of empires, kings, languages and borders. Canada has experienced four main waves of Czech immigration. The first two, spanning the 1880s to 1914 and then 1919-39, were driven by economic factors. During this period, Czech immigrants mainly settled in the Prairies
Québec’s flag
In 1948, Québec first raised its provincial flag called the Fleurdelisé. It depicts a white cross on an azure blue background and four white fleurs-de-lis. The flag’s symbolism is tied to the ideal of purity and also serves as a reminder of early French colonizers who settled in the province.
in search of a better financial situation through farming. Those who arrived during the latter two phases (1945-89 and 1990-present day) were mostly political refugees fleeing the economic uncertainty and Communist reign of the post-WWII era. Immediately after the war, a majority of these migrants chose to live in Montreal, but Toronto and Vancouver have since taken over as the top destinations for new Canadians of Czech heritage. The Czech community has always been a large contributor to Canada’s cultural life, especially in the fields of theatre, sports, literature andmusic. As such, Czech newspapers, books and theatre companies have been a part of the Cana- dian landscape since the late 1800s, and Canadians of Czech descent, true to the proverb “each Czech is a musician at heart,” take great pride in their musical heritage.

Cornwall’s very own Starbucks to open in December
It’s a coffee shop that has been all the rage around the world and in just a couple of months, Cornwallites will be able to take a sip of Starbucks’ coffee. The establishment is already under construction and will be located on Brookdale Avenue, next to the Shoppers Drug Mart. Construction started some time back and contractor Harden Group hopes to begin interior work by the end of October. The first Starbucks opened its doors in 1971 in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. The name, inspired by the novel Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders. — photo Francis Racine

The West Nile virus has been found in some mosquitoes in the Eastern Ontario region. But local health authorities say there is no cause for alarm. The Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) has a monitoring program in place to trap and examine samples of the local mosquito population for signs of the West Nile virus. Some of the latest samplings came back with positive test results but Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, EOHU chief medical health officer, says resi- dents should remain calm as there are still
very small percentagemay be at risk of more severe results if they are not treated. To reduce the risk of West Nile virus, fol- low standard precautions to prevent mos- quito bites. Use CSA-certified personal insect repellents which containDEET. Keep a light coating on the skin when going outside. Wear light-coloured clothing, including long-sleeved shirts and pants, and also wear socks when outside. Avoid going out at either dusk or dawn when mosquitoes are most active.
no reports of humans in the region infected with the disease. “The Eastern Ontario Health Unit has been actively monitoring mosquitoes for West Nile virus,” stated Dr. Roumeliotis in an EOHU press release. “This finding shows that West Nile virus remains a concern in our area. Most cases of West Nile virus infec- tions in humans actually occur between the months of August and October, so residents should be aware and take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their families.” West Nile virus is passed on to humans from the bite of an infected mosquito. But not all mosquitoes are potential carriers. There are just a few types of mosquitoes which can carry the virus. Severity of infec- tion will vary between individuals, though for most people the risk of illness is low. A
To prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs near a house or outbuildings, make sure that any containers, including barrels, buckets, kiddie pools, saucers, used tires, and such are kept empty of standing water. Any ponds or puddles should be “salted” with an or- ganic pesticide like Vectobac, which uses a bacterium that preys on mosquito larvae but is harmless to anything else. Also keep lawns trimmed short to reduce the amount of wet grass from dew or rainfall. Make sure all door and window screens are in good condition, with no holes, and that doors and window seals are intact to prevent mosquitoes getting inside the house. More information on West Nile virus and mosquito problem prevention is available at the EOHU website at www.eohu.ca or by phone, toll-free, to the Health Line at 1-800-267-7120.

Beware of school buses It’s back-to-school time and the Cornwall Community Police Service (CCPS) is reminding motorists to be on the lookout for school buses in the community.“We are taking a zero-tolerance level on the enforcement of school bus-related violations,” said constable Dan Cloutier, of the CCPS. “School bus operators are also carrying violation forms, which they complete and turn over to police for investigation.This form contains details of the alleged offence such as licence number of the offending vehicle, location, date and time of the offence, description of the driver.” Officers will also pro-actively follow school buses looking for violators and in some cases, officers will be aboard specific school buses travelling in known trouble spots. They will in turn report violators to a nearby patrol vehicle so that the offender may be apprehended and fined. – Francis Racine
